Wine maker Robert Foley. Luscious, young and powerful without twisting up on the palate. Rich, luscious and chewy, one can feel the tannins have had enough time in bottle to begin melting onto the complex array of flavored in the heart of the wine. Ribeyes and potatoes, all day, and with time to decant the '09 Jamesport Petit Verdot goes from a cantor to a rugged and thoroughly enjoyable gallop. A nose-coating helping of spice box envelopes the ole factory, and trademark characteristics of Petit Verdot become more clear with each sip. It's subtle but with oodles of staying power- and such is the finish. Bottom line: worth more than it costs- and a noble representative of a rising Atlantic Coast.
